Hard to find healthy food when traveling. I was passing through Gruene and drove past this place…read moreonce. I was struck by the outside and what the door said- "Good Food Good Mood." It's true! I buzzed through the neighborhood next door, turned around, and promised not to pass it again. The inside was apparently just redone. The two kids working were super kind and patient with my multiple orders as I became increasingly smitten with this place. I started with carrot cake and a Grapefruit Rambler sparkling water. The perfect snack. Sweet and just the right amount of frosting. I went back to order a turkey and havarti wrap with a side of pasta salad. It was plenty big and very fresh. A perfect healthy dinner for my flight home. I also got a thumbprint cookie which tasted like vegan short bread. Minesh, the new owner, came out to talk with me and he was so honest and welcoming about his efforts to make this cafe a success. I gathered it was his kids who were working. Truly a lovely place. I can't recommend it enough and hope I get the chance to go back some day if I ever find myself in Gruene again.

The service was absolutely wonderful (thank you, Stacy!), and the food was outstanding. All scratch made, from the grits to the sourdough toast to the biscuit to the mixed berry compote. I got eggs, hash browns, bacon and sourdough toast...my wife got the oatmeal, creamy grits that could could have come out of her grandmother's kitchen in Georgia, and we shared a biscuit for "dessert" that was simply perfect. Busy but not hectic, small but not cramped....just a lovely, lovely breakfast. We will return to this gem often!

We won't talk about how many years later but we finally made it back. Our server was phenomenal. We were in from out of town visiting family at their restaurant, and she was so attentive and super kind about us taking up her table longer. We started off with onion rings and they were delicious. The ranch is pretty great also. I couldn't help I get the chicken fried steak with a homemade fries. I live in Las Vegas and there are some things that you just can't get that equal Texas cooking. All of it was super great. Sometimes when you get chicken fried steak, it's greasy from the frying there was none of that here. The steak was flavored good. The batter was flavored great and it was crispy and the gravy was flavored. I mean, Texas folk definitely know how to season their cooking. The fries are so good and dipped in my gravy from the chicken fried steak and I was in heaven. My son ordered a cheesesteak. It looked good and he enjoyed it. I have to teach him to be a little more southern though when he orders. Just kidding. I love the feel of Pat's Place. It's an old house converted into a restaurant and it does feel like you're eating a home-cooked meal in a friends house. It's unbeatable. I appreciate after all these years, this place still rocks. Thank you for the incredible service and the even more incredible food.

We…read morewere quickly seated and served our drinks, and the waiter came over just a couple of minutes later to check on appetizers. Fried Pickles (Half Order): 10/10! They took a few minutes to arrive, but they came out piping hot and incredibly yummy. Onion Rings: The absolute star of the meal! Crisp, delicious, and perfectly done. Mushroom Swiss Burger: 7/10. I had actually ordered the blackened bacon mushroom burger, but received this instead. It wasn't worth sending back because it was cooked perfectly, though the patty seriously lacked seasoning. Chili Burger: 5/10. My husband's burger tasted more like a basic cheddar cheeseburger topped with sloppy joe mix. The patty wasn't seasoned, and the chili lacked deep flavor. The side of fries, however, was great! The Verdict: We will definitely come back! The food is priced perfectly for the portion sizes, and the service was top-notch. That said, I'd highly recommend sticking to their fried menu items like the fried fish, country fried steak, or frog legs. They clearly have their fried food seasonings down to a science!

We started with their Sweet Chili Wings. Finger licking good! We scarfed down the 8 pieces. 5 stars for the wings. Hubby tried the Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes. They're supposed to be known for this dish and unfortunately it was chewy so it's 3 stars. I ordered the Swiss Mushroom Burger with onion rings. The onion rings were great but the burger lacked seasoning. We got Dad the Beer Battered Alaskan Pollock with sweet potato fries. This entree and side was excellent. We brought home leftovers. Mixed review for this staple in McQueeney. Perhaps it was an off day. The desserts sounded good but we were too full to have any. Would be worth checking out if you're in the area.

The French toast with strawberries was outstanding--perfectly golden, light and fluffy, topped with fresh strawberries that made every bite delicious. It was easily one of the best breakfast dishes I've had in a long time. The liver and onions were just as impressive. The liver was tender and cooked perfectly, and the caramelized onions brought everything together. It's a classic dish that's hard to find done well these days, and Union Station absolutely gets it right. Great food, generous portions, friendly service, and that genuine small-town charm make this place something special. If you're looking for a local spot that serves quality home-style cooking with people who make you feel welcome, Union Station is well worth the visit. I'll definitely be back!

From the nostalgic tributes to Blue Bell, our armed forces, and the railroad, it felt like stepping back into a patriotic 1940s diner. The warm atmosphere and hometown feel made the experience just as memorable as the food. If you're craving a classic, no-frills breakfast, you won't be disappointed. I ordered the eggs and pork chops. The pork chops could have used just a touch more salt for my taste, but with a light sprinkle at the table, they were absolutely delicious. My daughter ordered the short stack, and those pancakes completely blew us away. They were hands down some of the best pancakes we've ever had and officially earned this diner my new favorite breakfast spot. For those who aren't in the mood for breakfast, they also offer a generous selection of lunch options. My husband ordered the Reuben and thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall, Union Station Diner delivers everything you'd hope for in a small-town diner: welcoming hospitality, comforting food, and a nostalgic atmosphere that makes you want to come back again. If you're passing through, it's absolutely worth the stop.

Well, timing is everything because we finally got to eat their delicious food today (6/20/26) at the annual Juneteenth event at the Carver Museum/Library. It's an extremely hot and humid and typical Austin summer day and the line went on forever. Guess what? It was so worth almost suffering heat exhaustion. Seriously. Wanna know how good that food is? I was wearing a plain white tee shirt that got destroyed. How & why? Because I was eating like I've never had food before and got it all over me! I'm messy when the food is good. I had the chopped beef sandwich and my boyfriend had the brisket. Y'all, that's some fine barbecue. Sizzlin' good. That was some of the most tender meat we've ever smacked our lips on.
